Analysis of Soft Heaven

Wonderful space in flickering stars.
Wonderful space in flickering stars.
The beauty of soft heaven.
The beauty of soft heaven.
The wonderful flickering beauty
of soft stars, space in heaven.

I blink inside the light of love.
I blink inside the light of love.
Watching time dance eons past.
Watching time dance eons past.
Inside time, the love of light,
past eons dance, watching, I blink.

Desire is a fingertip away.
Desire is a fingertip away.
With whispering smiles I gently reach.
With whispering smiles I gently reach.
I reach gently with a fingertip,
desire is whispering smiles away.

Wonderful heaven, a fingertip away,
smiles dance love, I blink
with the beauty of space, past eons.
Desire watching in flickering stars,
I gently reach inside of time,
the soft light is whispering.

The paradelle is one of the more demanding French fixed forms, first appearing in the langue d'oc love poetry of the 11th century. It is a poem of 4 6-line stanzas in which the 1st and 2nd as well as the 3rd and 4th lines of the first 3 stanzas must be identical. The 5th and 6th lines must use all the words from the preceding lines and only those words. The final stanza must use every word from all the preceding stanzas and only those words.
